Aether + Fender Studio Pro

AI MIDI Generator for Fender Studio Pro

Drag Aether in from the browser, describe the part you want, and drop the MIDI onto any instrument track.

Aether by Umbral Audio is an AI MIDI generator plugin for macOS and Windows (AU, VST3, Standalone). Describe a part in plain language; it plans, generates, and refines editable MIDI in named layers you drag into your DAW. $60 one-time, lifetime 1.x updates, up to 3 machines, no plugin subscription required. Prompts can be written in your own language, and Aether replies in it.

Aether is an AI MIDI generator that fits the drag-and-drop workflow of Fender Studio Pro, the DAW formerly called Studio One. Pull it from the browser onto an instrument track, describe a melody, chord progression, or bassline in plain language, and drag the generated MIDI into your song, fully editable, like a part you played in yourself.

Loading Aether in Fender Studio Pro

Aether installs as a VST3 on Windows and macOS (plus AU on macOS), so Fender Studio Pro lists it in the instrument browser, the same way Studio One did. Drag it onto a track and start prompting, or use the standalone app to sketch without a session open.

Drag-and-drop, both directions

Fender Studio Pro is built around dragging, and so is Aether: generated parts drag straight out of the plugin and onto a track. Refine in chat, where Aether edits the part it already wrote, or polish notes in the music editor.

  • ✓Compose in any number of named instrument layers, each with per-layer solo and mute
  • ✓Lock to Host syncs BPM and time signature from the Fender Studio Pro transport
  • ✓Multi-track .mid export with one named track per layer, tempo, and time signature embedded

Frequently asked questions

Does Aether work with Fender Studio Pro?

Yes. Fender Studio Pro is the new name for Studio One, and Aether loads in it the same way: as a VST3 on Windows and macOS, or an AU on macOS. Add it from the instrument browser, prompt for a part, and drag the generated MIDI onto a track.

Does it work in older versions of Studio One?

Yes. Studio One and Fender Studio Pro load Aether the same way, and any edition that hosts third-party VST3 or AU plugins can run it.

Is the MIDI editable in Fender Studio Pro?

Completely. Aether outputs standard MIDI you can quantize, transpose, and edit in the music editor like any part you recorded.

Can it match my song's tempo?

Yes. Lock to Host syncs BPM and time signature from the transport, and exported .mid files carry tempo and time signature.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Aether is a one-time $60 purchase. Bring your own AI provider key or run a local model through Ollama or LM Studio for free.
